Sore Muscle Massage Bar
Nothing helps relieve tight, aching muscles at the end of the day like a relaxing massage. This simple massage bar uses a few powerful ingredients to provide relief while maintaining a luxurious spa feel. Cocoa butter, shea butter, and jojoba oil combine to make a firm bar that melts on contact with the skin. This helps eliminate friction and make for a smooth massage experience. Make sure to store your bars in individual containers and in a cool place to avoid melting. The adzuki beans act as pressure points on the surface of the bar, like fingertips massaging your muscles. Sore Ease blend brings together an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving combination of essential oils that help your tired muscles and joints relax.
